BJX SHABBATON
Dear Vues Master:
I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed going to the BJX Shabbat Project
this past Shabbos. I saw the ad in the
Jewish Vues with the schedule & it made
me want to GO. Rabbi Krohn was great
and he actually spoke about Ari Hirsch
from The Jewish Vues when he spoke
about Rav Dovid Feinstein zt”l frst yahrzeit. He spoke about Rav Dovid’s three
aniyim answer to the 3 dinner guests’
fun question. I was amazed at how many
people showed up. I want to give a big
Yasher Koach to Rabbi Fingerer for all
the great work he does for Klal Yisrael.
RF
Vues Master’s Note: There is nothing
like Rabbi Krohn & Yehuda Green!!
FOR SALE
Dear Vues Master:
Why does it feel like every other house
in Flatbush these days are up for sale?
RE
Vues Master’s Note: Maybe because
it is. Think about it all we get is speed
cameras and red light camera tickets.
Vandalism with no repercussions. Landlords can’t pay taxes and can’t collect
rent. The neighborhood is becoming really bad. Just look at history in Brownsville and East NY. Nuff said!
MISSING REB DOVID
FEINSTEIN
Dear Vues Master:
I can’t believe it’s been already an entire year since Rav Dovid Feinstein zt”l
was niftar. Klal Yisrael is missing him
greatly.
AF
Vues Master’s Note: We miss both his
Torah and his Mentchlichkeit!
ELECTIONS
Dear Vues Master:
Is it just me or am I the only one not excited for any of the candidates this election week? I guess the only part of election week that I’m happy about, is that
DeBlasio will no longer be our Mayor
soon.
RL
Vues Master’s Note: Problem is that
soon is not soon enough!
BIDET
Dear Vues Master:
Some people say that it’s best to install a
bidet so that you save money and don’t
have to rip as much toilet paper for
Shabbos. I’m writing this letter to warn
you that you shouldn’t. If you do, the
price will go up because when demand
goes up, price goes up. I need the price
to go down so I can buy one.
BG
Master’s Note: You are forgetting with
Biden President gas has gone up and
there are shortages all over. The economy is down the toilet. You can fush your
Bidet good bye the price will go up, that
is if you can get one it is probably stuck
at the port!
I’LL DRINK TO THAT
Dear Vues Master:
The רבי of בארדיטשוב was asked why
חסידים have a מנהג to drink a לחיים at
every event. He explained: “חז״ל tell us
הקדוש ברוך הוא that
ראשון ראשון מעביר ;that is, He lets it
pass the frst time an עבירה is committed
but punishes the second time. Now, the
גמרא teaches that it is משקין ידי על that
.ראשון לטומאה a made is שני לטומאה a
That is why we drink משקין ,so that the
second עבירה should become ראשון and
הוא ברוך הקדוש will thus let it pass.”
MB
Vues Master’s Note:I could use a drink!
I like that Kool Aid!

BIDEN
Dear Vues Master:
Policies and results are perceived as separated when in
reality, they are part of one
narrative. Supporting different healthcare initiatives
as an example might help
many people in future diseases. At the onset, such a result might not have been anticipated but is nevertheless
an ideal sought. Since the
disastrous Afghanistan exit,
the question of the relocation of migrants has been a
subject of conversation. For
many Americans, their view
has been to relocate them to
countries nearer to Afghanistan, as it’s more similar in
culture than relocating them
to the USA. Others want to
relocate them to the USA.
Regardless of what side is
correct, the Biden administration has taken a different approach. According
to video footage obtained
from the New York Post,
Joe Biden has been fying
thousands of migrants, including those who entered
the US illegally from the
US-Mexican border, into
the USA in the middle of
the night. Last week, Biden
few 2000 illegals into New
York, despite local curfew
rules forbidding fights at
the time. Joe Biden’s lack
of respect for the nation’s
immigration laws is not
from a lack of knowledge;
instead, it is a purposeful
plan to add more Democrat
voters in the future. Over
30,000 illegals have been
released into the country
without a court date since
Joe Biden took offce. Democrats claim that pointing
out such facts is racist unless they are the ones saying
it. Democrat Dick Durbin
recently said about changing demographics in the US
that “the new voters in this
county are moving away
from them [Republicans],
away from Donald Trump,
away from their party creed
that they preach.” Democrats are saying the secret
out loud while labeling Republicans racist for pointing
out the obvious. Joe Biden
is too busy importing new
Democrat voters to America
instead of trying to save the
hundreds of Americans still
stranded in Afghanistan because of Biden’s purposeful
incompetency. Joe Biden
might not be all there, but
his administration knows
exactly what they are doing.
Sincerely,
D S G
Vues Master’s Note: Wait,
what about our media who
just don’t ask him any questions. They are in this with
the Liberals!

Vues Master’s Note: t is annoying to understand what
annoys you. I fnd some letters annoying but yet I need
to respond to them.
IS IT BENEFICIAL
Dear Vues Master:
The Gemoro asks why
were the infants brought to
the mitzvah of הקהל .The
Gemoro answers, to reward
the ones who brought them.
(the parents) From this
Gemoro it seems, there is
no beneft for infants, to listen and absorb the learning,
otherwise, the simple answer would have been they
came to listen so to have
the Torah absorbed in them.
How do we explain Chazal
( Yerushalmi Yevamos 8b)
The mother of R. Yehoshua
brought him in his crib (infant) into the Bais Haknesess so his ears will be attached to Torah? Harav
Hagaon R. Shlomo Miller
Shlita said, The Gemoro
originally held, there actually is no beneft for a child
who doesn’t understand to
listen. The Torah doesn’t
get absorbed just by listening to it if you don’t understand it. The Gemoro
answers, Hashem rewards
parents who bring their
children to the Bais Hamidrash, to absorb Torah. The
reward is that Torah does
get absorbed in the children
and they become Talmidei
Chachamim. This is the
למביאיהן שכר Since it is a
reward to the parents, this
Segulah works only when
the child was brought to the
Bais Hamidrash to listen
and absorb Torah, therefore,
the parents are rewarded.
However, If the child was
brought to Shul just so the
mother can have a break
etc, and not for the child to
absorb Torah then even if
the child will be listening,
the child won’t beneft from
it since there is no reason to
reward the parent.
MF
Vues Master’s Note: What
about adults who come to
Shul for kiddush clubs and
don’t necessarily daven?
You got to hope for the best
and some people and children are late bloomers.
GER
Dear Vues Master:
As the date for his son’s
wedding was approaching, Kalman told Peter, his
chavrusa, that he wanted
to give him a ברכה under
the חופה .Peter thanked
him for the honor but said
that, unfortunately, he had
to decline. When pressed
as to why, Peter disclosed
that he was actually a גוי .
“But how could that be?”
Kalman asked. “We’ve
learned together for almost
20 years and I know you’re
Peter,” No.” “שומר מצוות
answered, “I love to learn.
But I know that a גוי who
.חייב מיתה is שומר מצוות is
I’m not שומר all the מצוות .I
carry on שבת” “.But there’s
an ערוב “,Kalman responded. “Yes,” said Peter, “but I
don’t hold from the ערוב “.
BM
Vues Master’s Note: He
must be from the Eirev Rav.
DID YOU KNOW?
Dear Vues Master:

You cannot ask מחילה from
a שוטה If one sins (wrongs)
against someone, who later
develops Alzheimer’s, Dementia etc. According to
Rav Elyashiv Zt”l you must
wait until he dies and go to
his grave with a Minyan to
ask מחילה .Once the נשמה
separates from the גוף he is
no longer a שוטה .
FM
Vues Master’s Note: I guess
asking a Shoiteh for mechilah would be a foolish
move!
HIDING UNDER THE
WINGS
Dear Vues Master:
that says ב“מ פ“ה גמרא The
רבי was punished because
there once was a calf who
escaped from the שחיטה
and hid under Rebbie’s
coat. Rebbie told the calf to
go back to the שחיטה because a calf was created for
The לכך נוצרת) ) – שחיטה
question arises: Why was
Rebbie punished? He told
the calf a legitimate reason
why he should go back –
נוצרת לכך The answer is
that נוצרת לכך is only applicable to the calves who are
at the slaughterhouse. Their
purpose is to be slaughtered. However, a calf who
hides under your coat and
begs for your protection
you must protect, even if he
doesn’t deserve it. You may
not send him back to the
slaughterhouse and claim
נוצרת לכך .Perhaps, that is
Pshat in the סליחה we say
“תחת כנפי .יו“כ & עשי“ת on
השכינה יחביאנו צל ידו”
“May he conceal us in the
shelter of his hand, beneath
the wings of the Shechina.”
Once we are sheltered under Hashem’s wings, we
will be בדין זוכה even if we
don’t deserve it.
Vues Master’s Note: May
our tefllos get wings and fy
up to the Kisri Hakavod!
APPROBATION
Dear Vues Master:
A ספר named
A. רב משה חפץ by thoredau was מלאכת מחשבת
רב to whom he presented the
ספר for his הסכמה noticed
that it contained extraneous
philosophical discussions
and therefore refused to give
his approval, saying:
“.מלאכת מחשבת
אסרה תורה”
NB
Vues Master’s Note: I am
not maskim to this story. I
believe he should have gotten a haskoma. If he would
have had a philosophical
discussion he might have
convinced him!
UMAN
Dear Vues Master:
While I will never understand why people leave
their families and Eretz Yisrael to travel to Uman, those
I know personally who go
and I assume tens of thousands of others are perfectly
righteous and more importantly, sincere people. But
what kind of a rasha buys
a fake COVID negative
test, and worse, what kind
of person sells them? This
type of evil MUST be called
out so no one else considers
buying these, selling them
or creating the next scam
that can kill innocent people. Just when you thought
people couldn’t stoop lower, someone else comes and
shocks you.
RUP
Vues Master’s Note: Especially now when we see vaccinated people are getting
Covid also. Therefore if one
forges a vaccine card he
can bring harm! Eh! I don’t
think so. Mandates don’t
work it just gets people to
be creative and do fraud!
POLITICS
Dear Vues Master:
Last week three Roshei Yeshiva of BMG in Lakewood
condemned the visit by
New Jersey gubernatorial
candidate Jack Ciattarelli
to their Yeshiva, criticizing
the instrumentalization of
Torah and desecration of
G-d’s name. This comes a
few days after they entertained incumbent Phil Murphy (Dem.) in their offce.
Can you please explain to
me why any politician is allowed to go into a Yeshiva?
RS
Vues Master’s Note: Follow the money trail. As my
grandfather used to say, the
world is standing on three
things. Money, money and
again money!
PROMOTION
Dear Vues Master:
Though many people rightly despise socialists, socialists do not. Socialists believe that being socialist is
wonderful and something
to be proud of. That is why
there is no need to worry
about secret socialists.
How do you know if your
new neighbor is a socialist?
He’ll tell you. Constantly.
Worse than a vegan.
JO
Vues Master’s Note: Except
when they try to convince
you they are doing it for
your good as you don’t have
your own brains to realize
what is good!
CONSULATE
Dear Vues Master:
I completely understand
America’s new desire to
rehabilitate its relationship
with the Palestinian Authority. America aims to end the
Israeli-Palestinian confict
and to bring peace to the entire region. This has been a
goal of every. Each administration takes its own approach to the Israeli-Palestinian confict, and each has
failed. The Biden administration is taking a unique
approach – do no harm. It
is insisting that each side
not take any unilateral steps
that would forestall a twostate solution. Yet in one
area America keeps breaking its own rule. As part
of its drive to rehabilitate
America’s relationship with
the Palestinian Authority it
wants to change the American Embassy branch Jerusalem into a consulate for
the Palestinians. There are
many reasons why this is
a bad idea, but the tension
it’s creating with Israel tops
the list. With so many other
methods of rehabilitating its
relationship with the Palestinian Authority, it’s perplexing why America is insisting on causing tension.
As an advocate for a strong
US-Israel relationship, and
a strong believer in a united
Jerusalem as the capital of
Israel, America’s insistence
on creating tension is bewildering and disturbing to me.
I hope the Biden administration reverses course.
RUP
Vues Master’s Note: Biden
has one thing in mind to
placate the squad and he
will push the envelope as
far as he can!
